Well we seem to be off to a very good relationship with the folks at CDW and the Mercury discount program. After just a couple of days of the relationship I've managed to get CDW to kick up those discounts even further. So much so that they are beating quite a few of the known 'discount' hardware spots. Actually I'll use the same 3 examples to give you guys an idea of how things have improved:

OLD DISCOUNTS
- NEC 18.1" LCD was $639, w/ Mercury is $560 ~14% off
- Sony Clie NX70V was $596, w/ Mercury is $495 ~20% off
- Sony 24" CRT was $1,799, w/ Mercury is $1,689 ~6% off
NEW DISCOUNTS
- NEC 18.1" LCD was $639, w/ Mercury is $533 ~20% off
- Sony Clie NX70V was $596, w/ Mercury is $464 ~28% off
- Sony 24" CRT was $1,799, w/ Mercury is $1,649 ~9% off

As I also mentioned the other day CDW is working on some discounts specifically for you guys that will start showing on up the CDW frontpage when you login. Oh and dont worry about this getting regularly plugged here on the front page, I just figured a lot of the people who looked earlier wouldnt expect or know to look for even further discounts.

Oh also keep in mind that myself and Shacknews do not endorse CDW, we simply secured a discount for you guys who buy your hardware online. We encourage you to shop around.
